For compatibility with Halo: Reach, the Defiant Map Pack cannot be installed to an external memory device if a hard drive is present.) The fight for humanity’s survival rages on in three brand-new battlefields: a giant orbital station high above the burning surface of the planet, inside the forest of a military wilderness-training facility, and wrapped in the remnants of a civilian mining facility. These awesome new environments comprise 2 multiplayer maps and a Firefight mission that deliver 3 new achievements and 150 gamerscore. Developed by 343 Industries and Certain Affinity.

Halo Waypoint brings you an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the development of Defiant Multiplayer Map Pack for Halo: Reach. This video showcases the joint partnership of 343 Industries and Certain Affinity in the design and creation of these exciting new maps, from their earliest iterations to the brilliantly polished experiences fans are soon to enjoy. The Defiant Map Pack includes Highlands, Condemned and Unearthed and will be available March 15, 2011.

The Defiant Map Pack will hit Halo: Reach in March 2011, but before diving into the trenches on these three new battlegrounds, get your first peak at Condemned, Highlands and Unearthed in this intense, action-packed trailer. The Defiant Map Pack will be available on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft points. Visit HaloWaypoint.com or xbox.com for more details.

Within the confines of this low orbit dry-dock, UNSC craft undergo rapid repair and rearmament in support of the enduring war effort. But for the small squads of infantry who now fight over the open central hangar bay, this platform no longer provides any safe harbor. The Anchor 9 theme shows the different game types within this exciting environment.

The fight for humanity rages on a galactic scale. From a frozen xeno-archaeology site harboring secrets millennia old to an orbital anchor defending the stars high above planet Reach - and to mysterious places far, far beyond - Bungie's Noble Map Pack injects three new explosive environments into the multiplayer battlefield, each designed to reinforce all of Halo: Reach's vital warfronts, from small scale engagements to massive Invasion battlegrounds.

Before there was Master Chief, there was Noble Team. Get a peek into the story of six elite Spartans tasked to deliver the key to humanity’s survival. While planet Reach is invaded and eventually destroyed by a fierce Covenant army, this team of Spartans will overcome enormous odds to preserve humanity’s hope for future generations.

The Noble Map Pack is set to bolster Halo: Reach's online battlegrounds on November 30th, 2010. Before you wage war on Halo: Reach's three new fronts, get a good, long look at Anchor 9, Breakpoint, and Tempest with this brand new, high impact trailer prepped by the fighting force at Bungie. The Noble Map Pack will be available on Xbox LIVE and at participating retailers for 800 Microsoft points. Visit Bungie.net or halo.xbox.com for more details.

Sometimes in the face of unfathomable odds, the only way to accomplish a mission is to pay the ultimate price. The Halo: Reach live action film 'Deliver Hope' is a dramatic depiction of the sacrifice paid by Noble Team on the battlefield. This spot is a glimpse of the type of courage and heroism that will be required of all soldiers during the battle of Reach.
